Today’s the day—my first tutorial for the Art Gallery Fat Quarter Gang is live!

I’m showing you how to make this little ruffled zippy pouch. You can always use another one of those, right? And this one’s a little bit tailored, because you know, Art Gallery fabric is just too posh for a scruffy one. : ) And it’s easier to make than it looks—you can throw one of these babies together in about an hour! (Trust me, I’m the original bag-ophobe).

I used fabric from Art Gallery’s Rhapsodia collection. I fell hard for the big hexagon print that I used for the exterior of the pouch, and then of course couldn’t resist echoing that with the little hexies for the lining.

Want to win a stack of fat quarters from Rhapsodia’s “Sweet Journey” color palette? Of course you do! To enter the giveaway:

Lee, this looks great! I think it's a real challenge to break out of the quilting mindset to think in 3-D. I have a tough enough time following a pattern to make a fancy bag, much less coming up with one myself! You have some serious design skills 🙂
